Chapter 406

The crown prince's former girlfriends came from all walks of life, with varying outcomes. However, many women still desired a relationship with Brian. Some online even claimed they would remain with him even if he lost his title and wealth—he was simply so handsome!

As onlookers witnessed Brian kneeling to tie a woman's shoelace, gasps filled the air. Everyone was shocked. He reluctantly stood only after completing the task.

"Thank you," Grace murmured, slightly embarrassed. She kept her head down and hurried away. Evelyn, watching from a café window, dug her perfectly manicured nails into her palms. Why had Grace reappeared? And why had Brian knelt? It looked like submission!

A surge of jealousy flooded her. She couldn't let Brian see Grace as a potential partner; she wouldn't lose him!

Outside, after Grace's departure, Brian pursed his lips and addressed the director and production assistant. "I don't want this to happen again. You're to remove those people from the set."

The men who had earlier attempted to blackmail Grace looked ready to protest. However, Brian's cold gaze intimidated them.

"Since she didn't want to cause a scene, thank her for that. Bother her again, and I guarantee you'll spend the rest of your lives in jail!" Ruthlessness flashed in his eyes.

They hadn't anticipated such resistance at a small restaurant.

Meanwhile, outside, fans buzzed, speculating about the woman with the crown prince. Was she his new girlfriend? Some even counted down to his current relationship's end.

Back at the restaurant, Kyla Corbyn rushed to Grace. "What took so long? Did those people bother you?"

Grace shook her head. "I'm fine; nothing happened."

"Good," Kyla Corbyn breathed a sigh of relief. Then, decisively, she said, "If they cause trouble, I'll pay them off to avoid harming anyone in the restaurant."

Kyla Corbyn planned to spend money to prevent disaster.

"No, it's handled. I think they won't dare cause trouble here again. If they're smart, they won't risk it for a little money," Grace replied.

"You called the police?" Kyla Corbyn asked.
